He created you, gave you life, and knows everything about you. He cares about every little hurt. He wants for you to know Him, and for Him to be a part of your life. <br /> <br />God hates sin. Sins are the bad, wrong, immoral things we do. If we are honest with ourselves, we realize that we have all sinned at some point in our lives. God is holy, completely pure and righteous. He cannot tolerate sin, and He must punish the sinner. <br /> <br />God made a way in Jesus Christ. Jesus is God Himself. He came into the world as a man and lived completely without sin. Because of this, Jesus was able to make a special sacrifice for mankind—He took the punishment for our sins. By dying on the cross, He stood in our place. God accepts Jesus’ suffering as our own. He paid the price for our sins so that we do not have to. <br /> <br />The really good news is that Jesus didn’t stay dead—He rose from the grave and now lives forevermore! Through Him we can have salvation—right relationship with God and forgiveness of sins. All we have to do is put our trust in Him, and we will receive eternal life. <br />IMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13042898126000285946noreply@blogger.com
